Description
The introduction of the BSc Public Health
Nursing programme at the College of Nursing and Midwifery, Mampong-Ashanti aims
to provide an expanded and in-depth curriculum that equips students with
comprehensive theoretical and practical knowledge in public health nursing. It
emphasizes critical thinking and problem-solving, advanced research training,
enabling graduates to design and conduct rigorous studies, analyse data, and
apply evidence-based approaches to public health decision-making. The programme
also develops leadership, management, and policy-related skills to prepare
graduates for managerial and supervisory roles in public health initiatives.
Structured and extensive practical
experiences, including longer community-based internships, research practicums,

interact with diverse populations, and gain hands-on experience in health
promotion, disease prevention, and public health programme implementation.
Additionally, the programme fosters critical thinking, problem-solving, and
analytical skills, preparing graduates to tackle emerging health challenges,
develop innovative solutions, and make informed decisions in complex healthcare
environments.
The BSc Public Health Nursing programme accredited by GTEC seeks to produce a highly competent, versatile, and research-oriented public

global health priorities, improving population health outcomes, and
strengthening health systems.
